Reduce energy costs with AI optimization

Optimized energy flows and maximum savings: the Fronius Energy Cost Assistant automatically supports you in improving your energy use for your photovoltaic system including battery storage. This allows you to get the most out of your storage device − while also saving on energy costs.

Thanks to advanced AI technology, the Energy Cost Assistant continuously analyzes the expected PV production of your system, your energy consumption, and the current electricity price and adapts the storage strategy accordingly. Not only does this significantly reduce your electricity bill, you also make optimum use of your energy resources without the need for additional hardware.

Now available: more solar energy for you

When the sun is shining, you want to make the most of it. The Energy Cost Assistant ensures that your solar power is not lost, even when the feed-in limit is active. It thinks for itself, plans ahead, and stores more energy in the battery for later.

What are variable electricity tariffs?
Variable tariffs are price models in which electricity rates fluctuate based on consumption patterns or market conditions. In contrast to fixed-price tariffs, they are subject to change, resulting in either lower or higher costs. However, they offer a high degree of flexibility in energy use and can therefore be optimally utilized with an intelligent system.

Using variable tariffs cost-effectively

With the Fronius Energy Cost Assistant, it’s even possible to optimally utilize variable electricity tariffs: the assistant adapts to changing energy prices, continuously identifying the best time to charge or discharge the battery.

Energy prices are retrieved directly from the exchange and integrated into the AI-supported energy optimization. If the electricity price is low at night, for example, the battery is automatically charged via the grid, which means that you benefit from low electricity prices even when the sun isn’t shining.

The assistant also limits the discharge of your battery when the electricity price is very low, ensuring sufficient battery reserves that can easily be accessed when electricity prices rise. This allows you to absorb high consumption peaks and thereby avoid expensive electricity tariffs.

Does all this charging and discharging shorten the service life of the battery? No, the Fronius Energy Cost Assistant takes into account the degradation of your energy storage device and weighs up when it is really economically worthwhile to purchase low-cost grid current.
